MUMBAI: Brothers starring Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra, Jacqueline Fernandes and Jackie Shroff will be ready to open in theatres months before the original release date, on 31 July 31 2015.

The film went on floors in September and a considerable amount of scenes have already been filmed. Now, Brothers is likely to be completed way before the originally scheduled release date of 2 October 2015. However when Karan Johar zeroed in on 31 July, he realised that Akshay had already decided to release his home production on that day. Johar had a word with Akshay, who, thrilled about his upcoming Dharma project, offered his July date to Johar.

Producer of the film, Johar confirms the news, saying, “The energy of the shoot has been incredible, so we have actually decided to prepone our release to 31 July. Akshay and Ashvini have graciously given us that date and we have given them our previous date.”
